How to insert iFrame on WordPress, without a plugin or a widget

What is an iFrame

An iFrame which stands for Inline Frame, nothing to do with iPod iPhone or any Apple product – is an HTML code that creates a window that is embedded on to your website from another website – The thing about iFrames is that the web designer can change an iFrame content without you even knowing and years ago were subject to hackers placing malicious iFrame codes. However, usually you know the source of the code and are happy to use it on your website.

I was typing as I usually do in Visual not HTML – I copied and pasted the link but it didn’t work, I’ve embedded many videos from youtube so I didn’t understand why this code wouldn’t work. I searched Google to understand a bit more about and I found many Plug-ins and widgets and ideas, then I started to read about HTML and I tried this…..

I switched to HTML – pasted the code and pressed publish (the rest of the post was complete it was just this iFrame that wasn’t working) Hey presto it was there. There is only one thing you need to remember and that is not to change back to Visual display for some reason it doesn’t work again.
